#252 BITESIZE | The Simple Habit That Ca...

Dr Rangan Chatterjee: GP & Author
About this episode

There are so many health benefits associated with a consistent practice of meditation, and the benefits of a regular practice can extend beyond the meditation itself into daily life, benefitting our health and increasing our happiness.


Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart.  Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.


Today’s clip is from episode 2 of the podcast with co-founder of the meditation app ‘Calm’, Michael Acton Smith


Michael admits he wasn’t initially convinced about trying meditation until he researched the science.  

 

Since then, the practice has transformed his life and, in this clip, he explains how we can all experience the many benefits by making it an enjoyable daily habit.
